http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/ I'm glad because as tight as money is the price of gas was killing us. We were hardly going anywhere at all because we just couldn't afford the gas. F you OPEC

well then you'll love this, considering the price of oil we're all still paying WAY too much at the pump, so we more need to hope that suppliers and service stations stop price gouging if we ever want to see reasonable prices |

I don't know how it is where you guys are , but here the poor old station owner is the one who gets the raw deal. well , besides the consumer that is The price of petrol is given to him via a email or fax each morning and he simply has to sell at that price regardless if he works for a large company like shell or mobil or something like that The independant stations have more freedom but they don't get the discounts the big guys get either We all get screwed basically Everyone except the big companies that is

Gas is $2.49 here right now and seems to drop 5 cents every couple days. If you read the rest of that article they estimate gas will go back down to $2 a gallon before too long |

oil was way over priced over the summer because of people speculating on it by buying commodity futures. |

Thank Sweet Jesus. I like it only costing $30.00 to fill my car now. Not long ago, it was $70.00. |

![]() I saw a bit on the news the other night about a service station in Sydney that cut it's price by over 40 cents per litre in order to send a message to the big companies that what is happening at the moment in my country is extortion. Our price is about $1.40 to $1.50 per litre at the moment. There were idiots on the news saying they just saved $50 to $70 ![]() What size tank do they have? Some people are so stupid that they drive around for 4 days with the needle on the red and then fill up and put 20 litres MORE fuel in their car than they usually do and then claim that petrol is so dear that it cost them 40 bucks more than last week ![]() Simple maths tells me that for every 10 cents per litre petrol rises you will pay $10 more per 100 ltires Now unless you have a massive truck with a 3oo litre tank in it i don't really think you'll be saving $70 on a fill if it drops 40 cents ![]() BTW this is not aimed at gummy Just the morons i saw on the tv last week ![]() |

I don't know what you guys are complaining about, here in MN we usually have close to the lowest prices in the US. On CNN a few weeks ago, a town nearish me had the lowest listed price... there was a gas price problem? I jest, when it is lower, it isn't by much. It is awfully nice to see it drop in price more, since winter is coming and everyone will be breaking out the SUVs they had squirreled away all summer. |
